Brewers vs. Rangers: Game 3 prediction, odds, injuries, and picks

The Texas Rangers and Milwaukee Brewers conclude their series Wednesday afternoon in Arlington with two aces on the pitching mound. The Rangers sport a three-game home winning streak and the best ERA pitching staff in the league at 3.44.

While the Brewers continue running the table in the NL Central behind their balanced lineup and stout arms. With Freddy Peralta's dominance against Merrill Kelly's consistency, this Game 3 finale has all the feel of a playoff game.

Starting Pitchers

Freddy Peralta (Milwaukee)

Peralta has dominated throughout the season with a 16-5 record, 2.50 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 176 Ks. His fastball-slider still collecting swings-and-misses, and he's been especially good at preventing big innings from getting out of control, making him a tough match-up for any offense.

Merrill Kelly (Texas)

The 36-year-old veteran has been steady with an 11-7 mark, 3.16 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 156 strikeouts in 171 innings. Kelly relies on command and soft contact, piling up innings and confounding hitters with his changeup and cutter combo.

Hot Hitters to Watch

Christian Yelich (Brewers)

The veteran outfielder is off to a good season, with a .269 batting average, 27 home runs, 93 runs batted in, 83 runs, and 16 stolen bases. Yelich has been a steady fixture in the middle of Milwaukee's lineup, combining power and speed and playing well in pressure situations.

Wyatt Langford (Rangers)

Langford has emerged as Texas' most thrilling bat, hitting .245 with 21 homers, 60 runs batted in, 70 runs, and 18 stolen bases. His combination of power and speed makes him a threat at-bat every time out, and he's been a catalyst for Rangers' offense in close games.
